Gent vs Beerschot VA Prediction: Gent will bounce back to winning ways

Ghelamco Arena will host the Jupiler Pro League encounter between Gent and Beerschot VA. The home team is well favoured to win this one. On the road, can Beerschot VA pull off a shocking performance? I preview this game in the following sections and offer free betting options. 

Gent

Gent's last encounter was against Real Betis in the Europa Conference League and they lost. In a 0-3 encounter, second-half goals from Antony, Cedric Bakambu, and Sergi Altimira were enough for their opponent to take maximum points. In the meantime, Gent have won only one of their recent matches, coming against Anderlecht in a 1-0 encounter. In other games, this team drew Charleroi, Dender, Leuven and KV Mechelen. In their last home matches, Gent have one win, lost two and drawn two. This season, Gent have 37 points from their first 25 matches, leaving them seated 6th in the standings. In those matches, Gent scored 35 goals and conceded 28.

Beerschot VA

Beerschot VA's last league game was against Charleroi and they settled for a draw. In a game that ended 1-1, Daishawn Redan's strike in the first half was not enough to see this team avoid a defeat, as Nikola Stulic's strike in the second half denied them maximum points. In the meantime, Beerschot VA have gone winless in their last ten matches, losing six and drawing four. On the road, Beerschot VA have lost their last six matches; their best result in recent games was against Westerlo in a 2-2 draw. This season, Beerschot VA have accumulated 14 points, leaving them seated at the bottom of the standings after 25 matches. 

Expert Betting Tips

Beerschot VA are just nowhere near ready to compete and I do not see them showing competitiveness. While Gent have struggled to win lately, I believe being at home against the weakest side should be a good chance for him to turn the tables. At home, I believe Gent have the chance, especially with improved play in attack. Therefore, on the road, I do not see Beerschot VA having a chance here.
